Heavy Beating of Albanian Schoolchildren in FYROM

The Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted strongly to the heavy beating in FYROM of 15 Albanian-speaking school children from Skopje in a local bus by 20 Slavomacedonians in the Kisela Voda neighbourhood and are now being treated in hospital in a critical condition.

“The Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs hopes that the affair will be fully clarified and that the guilty parties will be brought before justice” is part of the statement.

It is stated that “such events that seriously harm the harmonious coexistence” in FYROM “must be dealt with in a calm and wise manner by the Albanians and the other nationalities in the country”.
